Doddie’s frustration over lack of research

Kevin Janiak

Borders rugby legend Doddie Weir, who received the horrific news that he had motor neurone disease a year ago, talked this week about his sheer frustration over the lack of research into the condition.

He was talking at the TriFitness gym in Galashiels, where he has been working with staff to come up with a programme that will help others with similar conditions.

He said he felt he had to do something, because he felt there was a lack of progress.
